SONGS  FOR  THE  SABBATH  S 

AND    VESTRY. 

DESIGNED    ESPECIALLY    FOR 

The    Sabbath    School    and    Concert. 

WITH    ORIGINAL    AND    SELECTED   MUSIC, 

EDITED   AND    ARRANGED 

BY   B.    W.    WILLIAMS,    ESQ.

Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress,  in  the  year  1WJ8,  by

In  the  Clerk's  Office  of  the  District  Court  for  the  District  of  MassachnMtta. 


It  is  believed  that  this  book  mil  meet  a  want  which  has  long  been  felt  by  Superintendents 
of  Sabbath  Schools,  and  others  who  select  hymns  and  music  for  children  to  sing.  There  have 
been  two  difficulties  with  most  of  the  Sabbath  School  hymn  books  that  have  been  published: 
First,  the  hymns  have  been  -  too  old  "-above  the  comprehension  of  young  minds:  second, 
the  music  has  been  either  too  difficult,  too  tame,  or  has  been  arranged  so  high  as  to  be  entirely 
beyond  the  reach  of  children's  voices.  It  will  be  found,  upon  examination,  that  these  difficul- 
ties have  been  avoided  in  this  book.  A  large  proportion  of  the  tunes  have  been  composed  and 
compiled  expressly  for  the  words ;  and  the  publisher  and  editor  are  both  greatly  indebted  to 
S.  B.  Ball,  Esq.,  one  of  the  most  popular  and  successful  teachers  of  vocal  music  in  Boston, 
for  very  valuable  aid  in  this  department. 

The  hymns  with  a  star  (*)  attached,  were  written  by  Hodges  Reed,  Esq.,  of  Taunton,  Mass.

Sing  to  the  glory  of  sovereign  compassion, 

For  no  arm  can  save  but  the  arm  of  the  Lord, 
Our  fears  are  all  hushed  when  the  song  of  salvation 
Is  heard  from  the  lips  of  our  brothers  restored. 
Sing  to  the  glory,  &c. 


Blessed  Redeemer,  we  pledge  thee  forever, 

Our  time  and  our  talents,  the  dew  of  our  youth. 

Let  thy  spirit  attend  every  earnest  endeavor, 
To  live  in  thy  love  and  rejoice  in  thy  truth. 
Blessed  Redeemer.  &c.

Child. 

3  And  where  is  now  my  little  mate  ? 

Oh  mother  !  tell  me  where; 
Will  he  not  cry,  when  he  wakes  up, 
To  find  you  are  not  there? 

MOTIIIR. 

4  He's  dead,  my  child,  and  no'cr  again, 

Will  he  awake  to  cry  ; 
And  we  most  go  and  lay  us  down 
Beside  him,  when  wo  die. 


Child. 
6  Oh  what  is  death  ?  I  am  afraid 
With  him,  alone  to  stay  ; 
I  do  not  like  his  narrow  house, 
In  which  there  is  no  day. 

Mother. 
0  You  need  not  be  afraid  of  death, 
If  yon  the  Saviour  love, 
He'll  Bnatoh  you  out  of  his  cold  arms, 
And  make  you  blest  above.

1.  Days,  and  weeks,  and  months,  returning,  Bear  us  gently  down  life's  way  :  Still  their  lesson  we  are  learning,    With  each  anniversary       day. 

2.  Glad  our  hearts,  and  glad  our  voices,  Joy  controls  the  hasting  hour ;   None  so  sad,  but  he     rejoic-es  'Neath  to  -  day's  controlling    power. 

3.  Glad  for  classmates  and  for  teachers,  Guiding  us  with  gen-tle  ruie  ;  Glad  for  all  the  gifts  that  reach  us,  Thro'  our  own  loved  Sabbath  School. 


2±i=t2t&r 


z,\-r^-i 


4.    Yet  tho'  glad,  we  11  still  remember  What  the  moments  always  say  ;  Life  must  have  its  cold  De-eem-ber,  Just  as        sure-ly   as  its        May. 
6.     Let  us     not  forget  the  meaning,  Days  like    thee  forever    wear  ;  One  more  field  has  had  its  gleaning,  One  more  sheaf  our  arms  should  bear.

He  sung  with  most  enchanting  voice— 
A  voice,  without  a  sound.

Next,  Sea  from  his  uplifted  waves, 

Sent  forth,  in  mighty  roar, 
His  willing  tribute  to  God's  praise, 

Which  died  along  the  shore. 


Sweet  was  the  choral  symphony  ; 

But  yet  there  wanted  one 
To  strike  the  chord  of  God's  free  grace, 

To  erring  mortals  shown.

Christ  spake  the  word — man  heard  the  call — 

The  aged  and  the  young, 
The  high,  the  low,  Redeeming  Love, 

With  kindling  rapture,  sung. 


Earth,  too,  with  all  her  purling  rills, 

An  1  groves  of  breezy  pine, 
Her  feathered  tribes,  her  flocks  and  herds, 

Joined  in  the  tcng  divine. 


Sing  on  !  Man,  Earth,  and  Sea  and  Sky — 

Sing  on  !   ye  minstrels  four  ! 
Of  wisdom,  goodness,  grace  and  power, 

Till  time  shall  be  no  more.

True,  'tis  a  costly  offering,  Mary :

An  offering  more  costly,  Mary, 

Poured  out  on  Calvary.

Yet  cease  not  thine  anointing,  Mary, 

'Tis  for  my  burial. 


This  kindness  thou  hast  done  me,  Mary, 
My  servants  shall  make  known, 

Throughout  the  world,  wherever,  Mary, 
The  gospel  trump  is  blown.

Near  to  my  own  in  heaven.

#    THE  OCEAN  OF  LIFE. 

O'er  the  ocean  of  life,  when  the  storm  clouds  do  sweep, 
And  our  vessel  is  tossed,  like  the  foam  on  the  deep, 
On  the  billow,  on  the  billow,  on  the  billow,  billow,  billow,  &c, 
On  the  billow  we're  safe,  with  our  Saviour  on  board. 


2  Though  clouds  thicken  o'er  us,  and  the  haven  is  far, 
May  the  eye  of  our  Faith  in  the  east  see  his  star ; 
Then  the  billow,  then  the  billow,  the  billow,  billow,billow,billow, 
Then  the  billow  may  threaten,  we'll  hope  in  the  Lord. 

3  There's  an  ocean  beyond  this  dark  ocean  of  life, 
Whose  winds  and  whose  waters  are  never  at  strife, 

On  her  billow,  on  her  billow,  on  her  billow,  billow,  billow,  &C. 
The  ransom'd  shall  sleep,  all  their  trials  are  o'er. 

4  Our  hearts  and  our  hands  we  will  pledge  to  the  Lord, 
And  to  you,  our  dear  brethren  and  sisters  on  board — 
May  the  billow,  may  the  billow,  may  the  billow,  billow,  &c. 
Waft  us  all  safely  on  to  the  Heavenly  shore. 


5  Dear  Teachers,  when  clouds  hover  dark  in  the  sky, 
May  you  be  the  first  to  see  Jesus  pass  by 
On  the  billow,  on  the  billow,  on  the  billow,  billow,  billow, 
And  meet  him  in  Faith,  though  the  breakers  are  ni^h.

CHILDKEN."      Page  43. 

.  Who  shall  sing,  if  not  the  children  ? — 

Did  not  Jesus  die  for  them  ? 
May  they  not  with  other  jewels 

Sparkle  in  his  diadem  ? 
Why  to  them  were  voices  given, 

Bird-like  voices,  sweet  and  clear ; 
Why  ?  unless  the  song  of  Heaven 

They  begin  to  practice  here  ? 


There's  a  choir  of  infant  songsters, 

White-robed,  round  the  Saviour's  throne, 
Angels  cease,  and  waiting,  listen — 

Oh,  'tis  sweeter  than  their  own  ! 
Faith  can  hear  the  rapt'rous  choral, 

When  her  ear  is  upward  turned ; 
Is  it  not  the  same  perfected, 

Which  upon  the  earth  they  learned  ? 

Jesus,  when  on  earth  sojourning, 

Loved  them  with  a  wondrous  love  ; 
And  will  he,  to  Heaven  returning, 

Faithless  to  his  promise  prove  ? 
Oh,  they  cannot  sing  too  early  1 

Fathers,  stand  not  in  their  way. 
Birds  sing  while  the  day  is  breaking — 

Tell  me  then,  why  should  not  they  ?

#    PRAYER  ANSWERED. 

TUNE,  "  when  god's  holy,"  Page  22 

Went  we  forth  from  this  place  weeping, 
When  the  precious  seed  was  sown  ; 

Now,  the  Lord,  his  promise  keeping, 
Brings  us  back,  his  grace  to  own. 

What  a  harvest  he  lias  granted  ! 

Scarce  our  wondering  heart  believes  ; 
We,  in  tears,  in  weakness,  planted; 

He,  in  strength,  has  given  the  sheaves. 

Yes,  we  come,  with  joy  and  gladness; 

Blessed,  according  to  his  word  ; 
Gone  is  all  our  grief  and  sadness, 

Felt  in  view  of  hope  deferred. 

Now,  in  heart  and  soul  united, 
We  will  tune  our  voice  to  praise ; 

Lord,  to  thee  our  faith  is  plighted, 
For  the  remnant  of  our  days. 

Now  that  seed,  so  precious,  bearing, 
Once  again  thy  word  will  prove ; 

Thou  canst  make  the  most  uncaring 
Melt  in  view  of  dying  love. 

Keep  the  flame  within  us  burning , 
Saviour,  let  thy  kingdom  come  ; 

And  may  we,  again  returning 
Bring  a  richer  harvest  home

The  world  its  fancied  pearl  may  crave ; 

'Tis  not  the  pearl  for  me  ; 
'T  will  dim  its  lustre  in  the  grave, 

Or  perish  in  the  sea; 
But  there's  a  pearl  of  price  untold, 
Which  never  can  be  bought  with  gold  ; 

The  sinking  soul  'twill  save  ; 

0,  that's  the  pearl  for  me ! 

The  miser  knocks  at  mammon's  gate ; 

"Tis  not  the  gate  for  me  ; 
From  early  morn  till  evening  late, 

At  his  bolted  door  is  he  ; 
But  there's  a  gate  that  leads  to  bliss, 
And  he  who  knocks,  in  faith,  at  this, 

Will  not  be  made  to  wait ; 

0,  that's  the  gate  for  me  ! 

Pleasure  may  chant  her  siren  song ; 

'Tis  not  the  song  for  me  ; 
To  weeping  it  will  turn,  ere  long, 

For  this  is  heaven's  decree  ; 
But  there's  a  song  the  ransomed  sing 
To  Jesus,  their  exalted  King, 

With  joyful  heart  and  tongue ; 

0,  that's  the  song  for  me  !

TO  THE   TUNE    OF   CHILD'S 

1  Deep  in  the  wood,  where  none 

But  cruel  huntsmen  roam, 
A  rose  most  beautiful 

Bloomed  in  its  humble  home. 
I  pitied  the  lone  flower, 

With  none  its  sweets  to  share, 
And  ne'er  a  passer  by 

To  say  "  thou'rt  wondrous  fair!" 
And  then  I  said  :  tell  me,  oh  flowery  queen, 
Why  God  has  set  thee  here,  to  bloom  unseen? 

2  Here, as  I  silent  sat, 

The  forest  birds  drew  nigh, 
The  squirrel  ventured  forth, 
And  frisking,  passed  me  by  ; 

And  e'en  the  rabbit  leaped 


prayer.    Page  26. 

^  Forth  from  his  hidden  bower; 

Yet  none  of  them  would  stay 

To  gaze  on  that  sweet  flower. 
Again  I  asked  her  if  she'd  tell  me  why 
God  placed  her  there,  unseen  to  bud  and  die  ? 

3  At  length,  she  turned  to  me 
With  such  a  Heavenly  look, 
And  from  her  honied  cells 

A  thousand  odors  shook — 
"  I  will" — and  then  in  tones 

As  sweet  as  childhood's  said. 
"I  bloom  alone,  because 
Jle  for  himself  Cod  made  ; 
And  'tis  enough   (say,  is  it  so  with  thee  ?) 
To  know  that  God  is  pleased  to  look  on  me."

And  my  career  of  light  is  run  ; 
The  moon  sends  back  the  sad  reply, 
And  all  the  stars  that  deck  the  sky — 
"A  little  while."

The  mighty  rivers  flowing  on, 
The  teeming  earth,  the  circling  years, 
Upon  them  all  this  word  anpeara-1

Canst  thou  from  death  exemption  claim? 
Ah,  no  !  the  word  is  si  ill  the  same — 
"  A  little  while."

And  the  grapes  of  Eshcol,  hanging 

In  clusters  from  the  vine, 
Which  make  the  lips  of  those  that  sleep, 

To  speak  in  words  divine. 


Here,  Love,  and  Faith,  and  Patience, 

And  all  the  graces  stand, 
To  guide  our  erring  feet,  and  point 

Us  to  that  better  land  ; 
Oh,  come  then,  all  ye  children, 

And  all  ye  elders  too  ! 
Come,  see  where  the  flocks  do  rest  at  noon  ;

Like  the  sound  of  the  sea  swells  their  Chorus  of  praise, 
Round  the  star  circled  crown  of  the  ancient  of  days, 
And  thrones  and  dominions  re-echo  the  strain 
Of  glory,  Eternal,  To  Him  that  was  slain. 


Dear  Saviour  may  we  with  our  voices  faint 
Sing  the  Chorus  celestial  with  angel  and  saint  ? 
Yes  !  Yes  !  we  will  sing  and  thine  ear  we  will  gain, 
With  the  song  of  Redemption — the  Lamb  that  was  slain. 


Now  children  and  teachers  and  friends  all  unite 
In  a  loud  Hallelujah  with  the  ransom 'd  in  light; 
To  Jesus,  we'll  sine;  that  melodious  strain, 
The  song  of  Redemption — the  Lamb  that  was  slain. 


This  may  be  sung  by  solo  voices.    If  it  is  sung  in  Chorus  it  should  be  very  soft,  as  an  echo  of  the  preceding  strain.

1.  When  I  would  be  a  Christian,  There  was  something  in  the  way,  Which  said, "  You'd  better  put  it  oft'  Until  some  other  day  ;' 


2.  First,  Passion  came,  with  cheek  sored,  Aud  told  me  to  get  mad;  For  such  an  one  said  so  and  so,  And  was'ntit  too     bad?

Then, Envy  came,  with  evil  eye, 

And  told  me  I  was  poor ; 
And  that  the  daughters  of  the  rich 

Had  dresses  —  what  a  store  ! 
And  then,  I  said  I  would  not  care 

If  they  had  thousands  more. 

Hinder  me  not,  hinder  me  not  f

Next,  came  one  with  a  lofty  look, 

I  knew  his  name  was  Pride; 
I  will  not  l ell  you  what  he  said, 

But  I.  am  sure  he  lied. 
0,  1  never  could  get  rid  of  him, 
Until  aloud  I  cried  : 

Hinder  me  not,  hinder  me  not !

And  next, there  danced  before  my  eye 

Pleasure,  with  all  her  train  ; 
She  said,  if  I  would  go  with  her, 

Shc'ii  ease  me  of  my  pain. 
There's  something  better,  I  replied, 

Which  I  intend  to  gain  ; 

Hinder  me  not,  hinder  me  not !

I  saw  a  child  upon  a  Lank, 

Gathering  sweet  flowers 
From  morn  till  night,  unmindful  of 

The  passing  hours. 
Her  wayward  feet  at  length  tripped  o'er 
The  verge,  and  she  was  seen  no  more. 


I  saw  a  youth  swing  proudly  o'er 
A  dizzy  ledge, 
On  a  frail  poplar  branch,  that  hung 

Over  its  edge! 
One  f.arful  crash!  one  shriek  !  and  lo  ! 
The  boy  is  dashed  on  the  rocks  below.

0  child  !  thou'rt  on  the  crumbling  brink 

Of  that  dark  river  ! 
0  youth  !  if  thou  art  thoughtless  now, 

Thou'rt  lost,  forever ! 
Think  early,  then,  of  God  ;  and  he, 
In  peril's  hour,  will  think  of  thee.

He  dropped  down  from  the  sky.

Why  God  made  Allie  die  ? 

Come,  let  me  take  you  in  my  arms, 
And  I  will  tell  you  why. 


"  The  Lord  perceived  that  she  was  loved 

By  doting  ones  too  well  : 
And  knew  what  troubles  she  would  have, 

If  here  allowed  to  dwell  ; 
And  then  he  wanted  her  with  him  ; 

But  more  I  may  not  tell."

1  Sweet  land  of  rest !  for  thee  I  sigh  : 

When  will  the  moment  come, 
When  I  shall  lay  my  armor  by, 
And  dwell  with  Christ  at  home. 

2  No  tranquil  joys  on  earth  I  know — 

No  peaceful  sheltering  dome  : 
This  world's  a  wilderness  of  woe — 
This  world  is  not  my  home. 


3  To  Jesus  Christ  I  sought  for  rest; 

He  bade  me  cease  to  roam, 
But  fly  for  succor  to  his  breast, 
And  he'd  conduct  me  home. 

4  Weary  of  wandering  round  and  round 

This  vale  of  sin  and  gloom, 
I  long  to  leave  the  unhallowed  ground, 
And  dwell  with  Christ  at  home.

There, their  hearts  go  up  to  heaven, 

On  the  fragrant  breath  of  prayer; 
Who  shall  say  it  is  too  early 

For  the  children  to  be  there  ? 
Jesus  says :  why  should  they  linger, 

(Speaking  from  his  throne  above,) 
Till  they  are  a  little  older, 

Since  they're  old  enough  to  love  ? 


O,  then,  let  them  have  their  concert, 

Be  the  weather  foul  or  fair ; 
So  that  when  the  Savior  calls  them, 

They  may  answer,  "  Here  we  are." 
Tell  them  they  can't  come  too  early, 

To  their  friend  who  reigns  above  ; 
For,  ere  they  can  lisp  his  praises, 

They  are  old  enough  to  love.

Am  I  willing— Inily  willing, 

Having  Him,  all  else  to  leave? 
In  this  heart,  while  He's  abiding, 

Do  I  love,  obey,  believe? 
Am  I  growing — truly  growing 

In  that  grace  He  freely  gives, 
To  His  child,  who  all  forsaking 

In  Him  breathes,  and  in  Him  lives? 
Thou  art  mine,  my  Saviour,  take  me; 

Drive  all  unbelief  away; 
Save  me  from  all  sin,  anil  make  me 

Do  thy  will,  and  in  thee  stay.

To  mansions  in  the  skies, 
I'll  bid  farewell  to  every  fear, 
And  wipe  my  weeping  eyes.

And  Satan' 
Then  I  can  smile  at  Satan's  rage, 
And  face  a  frowning  world.

And  storms  of  sorrow  fall : 
May  I  but  safely  reach  my  home,

1  I  r.OVE  to  join  the  joyful  play. 

To  sport  beside  the  shady  pool, 
To  watch  my  kite  soar  far  away, 
But  more  I  love  the  Sunday-school. 

2  For  there  I  meet  my  teacher's  smile, 

And  read  and  learn  the  holy  book ; 

And  oh!  my  heart  doth  feel  the  while 

That  God'  is  pleased  on  us  to  look. 

3  And  when  we  bend  the  knee  in  prayer, 

And  hymns  to  our  Redeemer  raise, 
It  seems  to  me  that  God  is  there, 
To  hear  us  pray  and  sing  his  praise. 

4  -*While  others  slight  this  holy  day, 

And  shun  the  gospel's  joyful  sound, 
Oh!  may  I  cleave  to  Wisdom's  way 
And  ever  in  my  class  be  found.

1  There  is,  beyond  the  sky, 

A  heaven  of  joy  and  love: 
And  all  God's  children,  when  they  die, 
Go  to  that  world  above. 

2  There  is  a  dreadful  hell, 

And  everlasting  pains ; 
Where  sinners  must  with  devils  dwell, 
In  darkness,  fire,  and  chains. 

3  Then  I  for  grace  will  pray, 

While  I  have  life  and  breath, 
Lest  I  should  be  cut  off  to-day, 
And  suffer  endless  death.

Travelling  through  this  wilderness.

1  When  daily  I  kneel  down  to  pray, 

As  I  am  taught  to  do, 
God  does  not  care  for  what  I  say, 
Unless  I  feel  it  too. 

2  Yet  foolish  thoughts  my  heart  beguile : 

And  when  I  pray  or  - 
I'm  often  thinking  all  the  while 
About  some  other  thing. 

3  0  let  me  never,  never  dare 

To  act  a  trifler's  part, 
Or  think  that  God  will  hear  a  prayer 
That  comes  not  from  the  heart. 

4  But  if  I  make  his  ways  my  choice, 

As  holy  children  do, 
Then,  while  I  seek  him  with  my  voice 
My  heart  will  love  him  too.

1  I  saw  in  heaven  above, 

A  troop  of  boys  and  girls ; 

Some,  weaving  coronets, 

And  others,  gathering  pearls. 

A  gentle  guide  the)-  had. 

Who  called  them  to  his  knee, 

And  taught  them  how  to  sing 

The  song  of  Calvary. 
I-  it,  1  said,  the  loving  John  I 
"Oh  no!  "  they  quick  replied,  "  it  is  not  he." 

2  Now,  on  a  verdant  bank, 

Where  bright  flowers  bloom  for  aye, 

They  deck  the  brow  of  him 

Who  blessed  them  in  their  play. 

The  words  of  heavenly  truth 

Dropped  with  such  wonderous  power, 

That  their  young  spirits  grew 

A  lite  time  in  an  hour. 
Who  can  the  guide  of  those  dear  children  be? 
Is  it  the  ardent  Peter?  "No,  not  he." 

3  Then,  to  a  living  stream 

They  gathered  with  their  guide, 

And  sought  the  precious  gems 

That  burned  beneath  the  tide. 

Encouraged  by  bis  smiles, 

They  ventured  more  and  more, 

And  shouted  as  they  brought 

Their  treasures  to  the  shore. 
That  faithful  guide,  his  name,  pray  tell  it  me. 
fciay,  is  it  Paul?  "Oh  no,  it  is  not  he." 


4  This  happy  band  on  earth 

Once  tarried  for  a  day, 

Then,  borne  on  angels'  wings, 

Up,  hither  took  their  way. 

While  here,  they  little  knew, 

Except  a  mother's  love; 

But  now  have  surely  found 

A  better  friend  above. 
Oh,  tell  me  who  that  better  friend  mav  be? 
Is  it  the  Lord  ?  "Oh  yes !    O  yes !  'tis"  He !  "

In  rny  closet  of  prayer,  at  the  close  of  the  day, 
I  thought  of  the  little  ones,  tar,  far  away; 
And  I  asked  my  dear  Savior,  who  lingered  close  by, 
If  he'd  show  me  the  Lambs  of  his  fold  in  the  sky. 
The  Lambs,  the  Lambs'  ect. 

"  Oh,  yes  !  "  he  repbed,  "  come  up  hither  with  me ;" 
And  I  thought  I  went  up,  o'er  the  land  and  the  sea, 
Till  he  said,  as  a  palace  of  light  we  drew  nigh, 
"Come  look  at  the  Lambs  ot  my  told  in  the  sky." 
The  Lambs,  the  Lambs,  ect. 

There,   thousand   times    thousands,  released  from 
earth's  pain, 

All  washed  in  the  lil 1  of  the  Lamb  that  was  slain, 

Their  tiny  hands  clapped,  with  a  rapturous  cry, 
Saying,  We  are  the  Lambs  of  his  fold  in  the  sky. 
The  Lambs,  the  Lambs,  ect. 

Si'  happy  they  seemed,  in  their  song  and  their  play, 
That  1  asked  my  dear  Lord,  to  permit  me  to  stay; 
"  Oh,  no!  "  he  replied,  "  you  must  go  back  and  try 
To  gather  more  Lamhs,  to  my  fold  in  the  sky." 
More  Lambs,  more  Lambs,  ect.

1  O  that  I  knew  the  secret  place 

Where  I  might  find  my  God ! 
I'd  spread  my  wants  before  His  face, 
And  pour  my  woes  abroad. 

2  I'd  tell  Him  how  my  sins  arise  ; 

What  sorrows  I  sustain ; 
How  grace  decays,  and  comfort  dies, 
And  leaves  my  heart  in  pain. 

3  Arise,  my  soul,  from  deep  distress, 

And  banish  every  fear  ; 
'  He  calls  thee  to  His  throne  of  grace, 
To  spread  thy  sorrows  there. 

TO  L.  M.  [Wells. 

1  What  various  hinderances  we  meet 
In  coming  to  a  mercy  seat  ? 

Yet  who,  that  knows  the  worth  of  prayer, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there  ? 

2  Prayer  makes  the  darkened  cloud  withdraw  ; 
Prayer  climbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw, 

Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love, 
Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 

3  Restraining  prayer,  we  cease  to  fight ; 
Praver  makes  the  Christian's  armor  bright ; 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 

The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees. 

4  Have  you  no  words  ?     Ah,  think  again  ; 
Words  flow  apace  when  you  complain, 
And  fill  a  fellow-creature's  ear 

With  the  sad  tale  of  all  your  care. 

5  Were  half  the  breath  thus  vainly  spent 
To  heaven  in  supplication  sent, 

Your  cheerful  song  would  oftener  be, 

"  Hear  what  the  Lord  hath  done  for  me."

1  I'm  not  ashamed  to  own  my  Lord, 

Nor  to  defend  His  cause, 
Maintain  the  honor  of  His  word, 
The  glory  of  His  cross. 

2  Jesus,  my  God,  I  know  His  name ; 

His  name  is  all  my  trust ; 
Nor  will  He  put  my  soul  to  shame, 
Nor  let  my  hope  be  lost. 

3  Firm  as  His  throne,  His  promise  stands, 

And  He  can  well  secure 
What  I've  committed  to  His  hands 
Till  the  decisive  hour. 

4  Then  will  He  own  my  worthless  name 

Before  His  Father's  face, 

And  in  the  new  Jerusalem 

Appoint  my  soul  a  place.

1  God,  my  Supporter  and  my  Hope, 

My  Help  forever  near, 
Thine  arm  of  mercy  held  me  up, 
When  sinking  in  despair. 

2  Thy  counsels,  Lord,  shall  guide  my  feet 

Through  this  dark  wilderness, 
Thine  hand  conduct  me  near  Thy  seat, 
To  dwell  before  Thy  face. 

3  Were  I  in  heaven  without  my  God, 

'Twould  be  no  joy  to  me ; 
And  while  this  earth  is  my  abode, 
I  long  for  none  but  Thee. 

4  What  if  the  springs  of  life  were  broke, 

And  flesh  and  heart  should  faint ; 
God  is  my  soul's  eternal  Rock, 
The  Strength  of  every  saint.

1  My  God,  permit  me  not  to  be 

A  stranger  to  myself  and  Thee  ; 
Amid  a  thousand  thoughts  I  rove, 
Forgetful  of  my  highest  love. 

2  Why  should  my  passions  mix  with  earth, 

ily  birtli  ? 
Why  should  I  cleave  to  things  below, 
And  let  my  God,  my  Saviour,  go  ? 

3  Call  me  away  from  flesh  and  Si 

One  sovereign  word  can  draw  me  thence  ; 
I  would  obey  the  voice  divine, 
And  all  inferior  joys  resign. 

4  Be  earth  with  all  her  scenes  withdrawn  ; 
Let  noise  and  vanity  be  gone  ; 

In  secret  silence  of  the  mind, 

My  heaven,  and  there  my  God,  I  find.

And  press  with  vigor  on  ; 
A  heavenly  race  demands  thy  zeal, 
And  an  immortal  crown.

And  onward  urge  thy  way .

And  every  tear  be  dry  ;

[Naomi.    P.  146. 


1  Soon  as  I  heard  my  Father  say, 

"Ye  children,  seek  My  grace," 
My  heart  replied  without  delay, 
"I'll  seek  my  Father's  face." 

2  Let  not  Thy  face  be  hid  from  me, 

Nor  frown  my  soul  away : 
God  of  my  life,  I  fly  to  Thee 
In  a  distressing  day. 

3  Should  friends  and  kindred  near  and  dear 

Leave  me  to  want  or  die, 
My  God  would  make  my  life  His  care, 
And  all  my  need  supply. 

4  Wait  on  the  Lord,  ye  trembling  saints, 

And  keep  your  courage  up  ; 
He'll  raise  your  spirit  when  it  faints, 
And  far  exceed  your  hope.

1  Soldiers  of  Christ,  arise, 
And  put  your  amior  on  ; 
Strong  in  the  strength  which  God  supplies 
Through  His  eternal  Son. 


2  Strong  in  the  Lord  of  Hosts, 

And  in  His  mighty  power  ; 
Who  in  the  strength  of  Jesus  trusts 
Is  more  than  conoueror. 

3  Stand,  then,  in  His  great  might, 

With  all  His  strength  endued  ; 
But  take,  to  arm  you  for  the  fight, 
The  panoply  of  God ; 

4  That,  having  all  things  done, 

And  all  your  conflicts  past, 
Ye  may  o'ercome  through  Christ  alone, 
And  stand  entire  at  last.

1  Prayer  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 

L'ttered  or  unexpressed, 
The  motion  of  a  hidden  fire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast. 

2  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, 

The  falling  of  a  tear, 
The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye, 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 

3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 

That  infant  lips  can  try  ; 
Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 
The  Majesty  on  high. 

4  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice, 

Returning  from  his  ways  ; 
While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 
And  cry,  "  Behold,  he  prays." 

5  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

The  Christian's  native  air, 
His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death  ; 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer.

1  Mine  eves  and  ray  desire 
Are  ever  to  the  Lord  ; 
I  love  to  plead  His  promises, 
And  rest  upon  His  word. 

1  Turn,  turn  Thee  to  my  soul ; 
Bring  Thy  salvation  near  ; 
When  will  Thy  hand  release  my  feet 
Out  of  the  deadly  snare  ? 

3  When  shall  the  sovereign  grace 

Of  my  forgiving  (iod 
Restore  me  from  those  dangerous  ways 
My  wandering  feet  have  trod  ? 

4  O,  keep  my  soul  from  death, 

Nor  put  iny  hope  to  shame; 
For  I  have  placed  my  only  trust 
In  my  Kedeemer's  name. 

DOXOLOGY. 

The  triune  God  shall  be 
Our  song  while  life  is  given, 

And  the  unceasing  praise  shall  run 
Through  all  the  days  of  heaven.
